I think the grade on this is probably Incomplete. The financial space it creates (~$8 million under the tax plus the savings of not having a pick) may allow Boston to do things it wouldn't have otherwise (keep Fournier?). Or, maybe there is a Smart/R. Williams for Star PG deal coming next and Horford allows Boston to fill a hole in the middle once they move on from Williams. More to come.

They're not done for sure. They've got a surplus of bigs now with Thompson, Williams, Kornet, Brown and Horford Brown is a keeper. He's shown good potential with OKC. They would love to get off of Thompson's deal as his skillset is becoming obsolete. They need to find a lead guard also.

Am I the only one that really likes Moses Brown. Could be an underrated pickup for the Celtics. He dominated the offensive board in the games against Dallas.

You're not. I think he can be their starting 5 man. He had a 20-20 game I believe this year. He rim-runs, and has good speed and mobility to guard the P&R. Portland had him first, then waived him. Kinda reminds me of Jarrett Allen.

I am really interested to see how Moses looks in Boston. He had moments where he showed large. Although that OKC team may have been a lot of mirrors. I looked at a lot of individual players and I fear most played above their potential. But they had moments they were very competitive for the first half of the year. We will see. But seeing Presti give up a young center with a low contract raised my doubts a little.
